Day 21 of the 30 in 30 Challenge

6" x 8", Oil on Gesso Board, $175

Today was one of those days that my dear, late husband Tommy would have been standing, smiling, with his arms crossed, shaking his head. It was suggested that I paint the barn in front of Holimont. I had scoped it out and I knew when the light was the best, so I headed over about 9:30 this morning. I parked and decided that the best place would be across the road, but the light wasn't quite right so I decided I had time for a cup of coffee. After getting the coffee I headed back and parked the van behind where I would be painting, so If anyone ran off the road, they would hit the van before they hit me (safety first). I got everything out of the van and began setting up... something seemed wrong... I opened my easel and I realized what it was, I forgot the paint, I FORGOT THE PAINT!!! Everything went back in the van and I headed home to get the paint. An hour later, the easel was up again and I was working on #21.
